Join the Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Illinois Chapter for an audio conference
Tuesday, October 13 from noon to 1 p.m. on Specific Strategies You Can Use Today for Helping People with Memory Loss
Presenter: Melanie Adams, Director of Education and Outreach, Alzheimer’s Association, Greater Illinois Chapter
When a person with dementia refuses to do something we need them to do, it is easy to get frustrated. However, a few simple techniques can help them stop “digging in their heels.” Join us to learn ways we may be contributing to their stubbornness without even realizing it. We’ll focus on skills to gently guide them from a “no” to a “yes” as we try to support them and keep them safe while honoring their dignity.
Audio conferences are held the second Tuesday of every month.
